VersaDry Track System
N O HIGH-TECH BELLS AND WHISTLES here, just old-fashioned engineering.

This system solves one of the most common problems with below-grade
basement remodeling—mold and mildew growth at the base of drywall after
even the mildest flooding.
The galvanized tracks simply create a
space at floor level to keep drywall out of harm’s way.
And of course, they could also be used with other
types of water-resistant sheeting, such as recycled
plastic and magnesium oxide (see extremegreen,
above).
VersaDry is available to accommodate drywall
sizes up to 5/8 inches thick, and in a double-sided
wall version. The wall can thus still achieve up to a
two-hour fire rating. It offers numerous options for
LEED v4 credits, including Eqp2—Enhanced Indoor
Air Quality Strategies. CREDIT: VERSADRY

Clopay WindCode

Garage Doors

HEN HURRICANES THREATEN, one way to
reinforce garage doors is to insert posts behind
the door until after the storm has passed. But
Clopay has developed some doors specifically
W with high winds and flying debris in mind.
The company’s WindCode line of garage doors are tested under
ASTM E330 for uniform static air pressure. Doors are assigned
CREDIT: CLOPAY to specific homes in different regions, based on the response to
several questions. Clopay assigns a WindCode “W” rating to their
doors, based on code requirements determined by wind speed
in miles per hour (MPH), home exposure and home structural
type. W1, for example is good for winds up to 85 mph, while W7
can handle 150 mph winds.
